The Biggest Barn Find Discoveries Ever! 37 Incredibly Rare Cars Worth Millions Inc the NARDI Ray

In this weeks video you will see a collection of cars we discovered earlier this year, a collection like no other and worth Millions!… i wanted to wait untill i knew the cars were safe once again before publishing anything about this site and what we found here… the location was very overgrown with no signs anyone had been there in a long time! The main path was overgrown, as well as the main doors themselves! Due to building deterioration we found a safe way in without causing any damage. When i stepped inside i was absolutely blown away with what i was looking at!.. like the dreams i used to have of finding such a collection.. was now right in front of me! From an old F1 car to a Frazer Nash (one of only two ever made!) then a one of a kind NARDI Silver Ray (the first Italian car with an American V8!) The Only One In The World!!!! I knew what we had found was extremely special.. and the reason i waited so long to show you this video. My main priority was to make sure the cars were going to be safe so i had to wait for the right time to show you.. i really hope you enjoy this weeks video guys!.. 🙂 here a few links for some of the cars i found here… ⬇️

[@marcbeebe]

You'll never top that find, mate! It should be a crime to abandon those cars.

[@JulesAtCumbria]

We're all sat here, utterly gobsmacked! That is the Ultimate Barn Find. That Nardi Silver Ray alone - unique! You know, like if you'd found a load of lost masterpieces stored from WW2, these incredible machines need to be saved for the nation! Beaulieu? Someone needs to rescue these and get them out there for the world to enjoy again. What a video!! Well done BE Team!

[@christopherfanshawe1425]

Seriously impressive find this week. Well done, Colin. The silver sports car at the 20 minute mark appears to be a late 1930s Alfa Romeo 6c (possibly a 2300 MM) and is megabucks. The two early Bentleys that were side by side look like 1920s 3 Litre models and I know someone who just paid £250,000 for one. I think the red Frazer Nash is an Arnott body car, so one of two sounds right. I appreciate that you delayed showing this and the collection is safe. I hope it can come to market one day and these important cars can see the light of day again.

[@OverlandCamry]

Most of the tires are pumped up a lot of the cars look rather clean for being an abandoned building. My best guess is that this is storage for a person’s collection.

[@deanstevenson7517]

Agreed

[@peterduxbury927]

It's mighty strange that those high-value cars are simply left without any form of Security. My biggest worry - is vandalism / arson. It could easily happen, and somebody needs to take responsibility for all of that valuable history. I am thinking that this is a Deceased Estate, with nobody caring like the true Owner did!

[@Team33Team33]

@@peterduxbury927 When he mentions several cars that a mate of his owns 'just like this' makes you think that his "mate" is well aware of this collection and is keeping his feelers out. Tipped off his "mate" to see what exactly was here. BUT: he shows Arabic puzzle boxes which would explain a lot... Owner and family no longer in the UK and this is simply what they moved out of. Hope they get revived and restored soon. There are some very desirable motors there. A Koweit person's garage in the UK and it's been abandoned around the time of the Invasion of Irak on Koweit in the 90's and left alone ever since ?

[@Scooopdog]

If you hop on to Julian's Flickr account you will see a lot of these cars, real shame that there left to die like this, only real positive is that the public now know about them and surely they will go to auction at some stage, very impressive. Merc or Bentley ?? what would you choose

[@davidwhitty9646]

Incredible find!! Beyond incredible!! I doubt even you realise what you’ve found there! Jaw dropping! Best barn find or exploration video ever!

[@davekortbeek]

These cars definitely belong in a museum. Brilliant video mate. Love Saturday evenings to watch your channel.

[@dieselfan7406]

Mueum? No! Get them running again and use them.

[@SimonChamberlain-lx6lh]

You’d think it was an abandoned museum with all those old rare cars. The history alone says everything. One of my favourite car videos. Thanks guys

[@screwthecabal6453]

I can't believe you found this this is absolutely amazing!!!!

[@Chickenboots1]

Thank you for sharing this and giving us the opportunity to see these beautiful machines. This place seriously needs guarding until they are moved or secured up correctly before any wrong ones work out where this place is (now that’s it’s all over the internet) if they are stolen or the place ends up burnt down, that’s a lot of history gone. Please tell us you have tried to find whoever owns this place to advise they fully secure it 🙏

[@spikeyplants438]

Hi Guys what an absolute GEM of a find.Those cars are amazing and really need to be saved and some put in a museum. The others restored and driven,value must be totally off the scale. Your excitement and joy in seeing those cars was great to listen too,great commentary Colin and I agree you are never going to beat this video.Still looking forward to next weeks.Take care.😀

[@mljuk]

A wonderful and amazing explore as ever Colin - thank you. With very little research, I found who these cars belonged to and so where they are located and if I can do this, anyone can. Please do whatever it takes to protect these rare and unique cars from the inevitable vandalism which will follow.

[@Plymouthstation1985]

Truly amazing Collin I’ve watched the channel for several years and look forward to what you bring each week this one is mind blowing to believe that has been left abandon hopefully they will be looked after again one day

[@greengreenie55]

What a stunning discovery. Along with many of your finds I find it amazing that family members don't seem to know about these abandoned places.

[@jarcs13]

Brilliant explore Colin and Nathan. You know who owns these right? You need to let Mr M. Know there is a way in and it needs security. Awesome. Cheers

[@benjones9822]

Now I'm curious and really want to know who Mr M is! But this isn't the place to say or even give hints.

I love watching your videos . They give me a temporary escape from all of the bs that’s going on in the world today !!!!

I found a very similar barn full of amazing but more neglected cars in Brazil a few years ago. We did a shot every time you said spider. It's going to take us some time to get all the way through. 😎

[@KevinMorrison-xj2bt]

What an unbelievable collection of rare cars ! l I have been into restoring Vintage/Classic cars since 1970 and this is the tops. It's not all about what they are worth, it's about saving them for the future. Thanks for uploading.

[@MattandBecExplores-lt9vf]

Wow! Amazing find 😮. Crazy to see all those abandoned cars. Big thumbs up 👍 Have a lovely weekend ❤

[@deanbirt7531]

Amazing finds just cant believe treasures like this are just sitting in barns. I found that Julian Majzub owned a Silver Ray up to 2013 in the UK.

[@gingercat555]

I have watched endless barn finds, storage units with lots of vehicles found ... but ... this is the BEST I have ever seen for variety, age, rarity, condition etc of vehicles. some looked more clean than others, I wonder if someone works on some of those cars every now and then. Looking at the outside doors you found looks like the steel plate there had been a tempted forced entry ... those stinging nettles are a great guard as you found out. Really good explore ... thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks.

[@giggins83]

Your channel is getting better and better mate ❤

[@dnf1903]

Hiya Colin. This must be the most amazing auto find you have ever filmed. Truly mind blowing. Thankyou.

[@Lot76CARS]

Truly breathtaking is an understatement, that’s definitely the one-off Nardi Silver Ray, unique and priceless. What an incredible discovery that collection is!

[@shaunpearce1166]

Wow...what an amazing place 😮. In the photo, The lady in the drivers seat looks like Patricia phoenix who plays Elsie Tanner in coronation Street 😊.keep up with the fabulous vlogs. It's the highlight of my weekend 😊.

[@MrAlphafang]

Thought the same Shaun. Look so much like her.

[@leechilds3725]

Any alarms or cctv ? Strange, these classic cars were left here 🤔 they need to go to a motor museum before they rot completely

[@mattskustomkreations]

This looks like a setup. No one leaves this amount and caliber of cars a abandoned. There would be heirs all over this. 14:16 or did this collection belong to a Sheik? EDIT. I’m not too far off… the Nardi Silver Ray was last known to be owned by classic car collector Julian Mazjub as of 2013. His father was a top guy with the Shah of Iran.

[@Gravity-campers]

All of these belong to Julian to this day they are not abandoned

[@vanessasmith5751]

Wow I absolutely love theses old Classic Cars. What a wonderful find.

That is the nardi silver ray which is now owned by a guy who probably owns all of those cars his name is Julian majzub he was reported to own since 2013

[@philipgallagher3234]

Possibly his overall collection.

[@thestig1978]

That's some collection colin amazing discovery let's hope they all get saved one day.

[@leontrice5346]

I’ve only ever heard of the nardi once before and I’m sure it’s that rare, that people have actually been looking for it

[@TimRoberts-q2e]

Hi Colin what a fantastic video wow those cars are mega rare the Red Alfa Romeo is a Giuletta sprint speciale, the yellow Lancia is an Aurelia B20 GT, and the other Lancia is a Flaminna Zagato sport, what an amazing collection I hope they are saved ! Thanks for all your great videos mate 🙂

[@JC-he7yk]

Someone already mentioned Julian Majzub below as the owner of the Nardi, as of 2013. (It would also tie in with the jigsaws in Arabic, as he is Iranian). I think he also has connections with VSCC, which some of these cars are showing a plaque. Why on earth these are in thus state is surprising . He is alive and well.

[@stuartjones7491]

and if he is alive and well, he probably won't be that happy that someone has accessed his workshop and filmed his cars! As someone else wrote... they don't look abandoned, they are far too clean. My car looks dustier than some of these after a winter in the garage.

[@robertpeach7956]

Looks like the holy grail of barn finds to me, no wonder you were blown away.

[@paulratnage2663]

Wow, what a great find & video, keep up the great work.

[@seandonohoe8131]

I do not think they are forgotten, some of engines being worked on are too clean , I think the collector is probably quite old and still tinkers with his one of kind collection collection . Nardi silver ray was reportedly sold to a 'well known' British collector . I hope nobody with less scruples than yourselves become aware of the location of such a wonderful collection that obviously lacks security.

[@carbootsally]

Wow!! I do remember years ago going to a farm type place where the guy restored old cars and it was a lot like this place.

[@FRFRANKIE]

Hi Colin. Hope your doing well. That video absolutely blew me away. Those are the most beautiful cars ever. I hope they can get all of them back to running condition. I loved the video. Sorry i wasn't able to donate this week. Hopefully next week. Stay safe and take care.

Nardi Silver Ray "In 2012, the car was later transported to New Jersey and carefully placed within a shipping container, while keeping its ultimate European destination undisclosed."

Abandoned barn find? cars with barely any birdshit, or dust, barn and cars very clean?, I doubt it.. more than likely, owner allowed this shoot to go ahead with his blessings.. 🙂🙂

[@vanguy7810]

I agree, I would not trespass such as this, without the expectation of getting shot. They do not show how they actually got in. Thinking staged, and note this; you park your vehicle for 6 months, spider webs everywhere

[@alanjax7685]

youtubers pay for access to these places as they make money from youtube comprenday?

[@r.davies2702]

How, just how? Surely more than one person knew of this collection before it got abandoned. It baffles me how everyone involved could just forget about them.

[@WthaHatchet]

Pretty sure thats a 63-64 Lotus indy car or a replica done well. Along with some early indy cars later in the vid. That is definitely the Nardi... All vehicles are rare lol This is a very good top pocket find man! Get yourself Jay Leno and ask for a finders fee of 10%-20% and youll come out well. These have been sitting since late 2000s-early 2010s most likely, just totally untouched. Do get on it mate. These need to leave here or the whole place maintained as a museum. Just wow! Awesome job man!🤘🤘

[@chrislloydguitarist]

Wow! My jaw is on the floor! The race car at 12.17 is a Brabham BT21, 1966 and probably has some serious racing pedigree. I'd love to know the backstory and what happens with all these beautiful cars. What a find!

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 Look's like you've Topped Trumped The Barn find hunter😅, really hope they get saved and you find more of the same.😊

[@patrickhiggs1215]

Does the name Julian Mazjub fit into this story ? He's the last known owner of the Nardi Silver Ray according to reports. He also has a huge car collection.You should have checked to see if it had the Plymouth V8 engine or was being reunited with the original V12 Alfa Romeo engine that the chassis is rumoured to have been built with. Apparently Mr Mazjub bought the engine back in the late 90's from or thru Simon Kidston as Nardi's daughter still had in in her basement. Seriously rare and extensively history'd car !

[@Mercmad]

Yes,this is simply a storage for some of his extra cars.I saw a Brabham in there that he owned,and obviously still does. I think we've been part of a marketing scam.

[@peterduxbury927]

The tiny metallic-blue Racing Car is ( I think) a Vanwall from the 1960s. I'm certain that Dinky Toys modelled this car way back then. What an interesting place, and many questions are left unanswered. Why all of the Spanners on the floor? Somebody left in a hurry.

[@si2546]

❤❤ heya colin... I would say that somewhere on this plant there are people watching this and wondering where there prized classic car went to.... it left home to be restored came to this place and never left.... that nardia tho man wat a car!!.... but some of the rarest cars on our planet and there they are.... the people who just left this place are really horrible... it's a heartbreaking sight to see :(:( :(:( thank you to you for once again showing us another amazing find.... we love you and your work xxx :);) ❤

@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse You’re completely correct in that statement, I don’t disagree at all. I was thinking more towards….IF….. the cars are genuinely abandoned of course 👍

[@davebentley3542]

@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse I’m sure someone knows, and may have directorship over their future. Taking the legalities of access into the building etc off the table, my view is only really discussing the ability of saving the vehicles going forward. I understand that there are many opinions…. The principal aim of my initial conversation was for the preservation of the vehicles. I think that’s what is inspiring us all here

[@davebentley3542]

@4th_Lensman_of_the_apocalypse Well I guess the guys involved made the choice to take that risk of reprisals…. Let’s see what the future of this story is….. Good chat 👍

The Vulcan in pretty interesting,possibly built before 1914. Vulcan supplied a lot of trucks during WW1. They were eventually taken over by the tilling Stevens group which was taken over by the Rootes group who then manufactured thev TS3 diesel engine for use in trucks and boats.

Bonjour, chers explorateurs. Bravo pour votre découverte. Vraiment une des plus belles "barn find discoveries" que j'aies pu voir à ce jour. Votre vidéo m'a rappelé le jour où j'ai découvert la collection Dovaz, quand elle avait été déplacée à côté de Cahors, au château de Folmont. Merci pour cette émotion. Reste à découvrir le reste de l'histoire. A mon avis, votre vidéo va faire le tour des médias spécialisés et on va redécouvrir tous ces véhicules lors de ventes aux enchères... où des rapaces vont en profiter...
